I work at a university and learned yesterday that the current administration has removed the legal status of at least three of our international students…without notifying the university or the student. Just up and deleted their visas.

The government made innocent, law-abiding college students illegal for no fucking reason and didn’t tell anyone. Why do that unless you’re planning to raid their home, kidnap 18-22 year olds, and spread terror?

They are doing this all across the country. I read a Higher Ed article about it. I’m sure no university has been left untouched. Thousands of innocent people threatened with ICE raids for no goddamned reason.

Deporting “illegals” my ass. This has never been about deporting undocumented people.

I can’t say if this is objectively better or worse than what Biden did, but I do know that this is outright evil.

If the economy crashes, people won’t be able to pay their loans, which I sincerely hope will fuck up a billionaire or two.

Unbelievable.

I’m loving the interest rate.

I’ve heard conflicting information.

1. That a vaccine would be lifesaving and egg-saving, and it would be a great thing.
2. With a vaccine, exporting chickens/eggs to other countries will be impossible because they won’t want to import eggs/meat potentially carrying bird flu (which wouldn’t be known because the chickens wouldn’t show symptoms). So, if food-cautious countries don’t want vaccinated products because of their potential to harbor bird flu, do I want those products? Would this increase the chance for the flu to jump between species?

I am not knowledgeable enough to know which is the better way forward. Can anyone speak to this?

Yeah, I like your idea better. It just feels further out of reach, so in the meantime, I’ll have to be satisfied with mocking.

I wonder how fast and much daily fashion will change. Like, no more knitted or crocheted items, or their resale value will go way up.

I wonder if the alienation of the rest of the world from the US by Trump, especially with these tariffs, was a Putin idea. Make Russia’s enemies turn against one another so they won’t band together. Pull their economies apart so that the EU won’t have armies and defense mechanisms at hand, and so that the US, Mexico, and Canada are no longer trusting each other, and so on. If all the countries don’t trust one another, they are fractured and weak, unable to stand up to Russia’s invasions.

I’m curious to see what the UK will come back at the US with. I bet the Baby in Chief will throw a tantrum and tell them they can’t do that.

He’s a narcissistic idiot and a baby. He deserves to be mocked mercilessly.

Why can’t I lease a fully furnished house for $1 a month? I would be cheaper and have less negative environmental damage. I also promise not to underpay my nonexistent employees.

No! America just wants all the food (and spices) from brown countries!!!1!! Brown people are obviously bad, though!

/s, but not really. Steal the culture and “good ideas,” hurt the people who created those things. All pretty par for the course.

Sounds to me like the US government has been thoroughly infiltrated by corporations only interested in their own profit. How dare other countries not pay billions to American corporations??

But we knew this already.

I’ve also missed this. The narcissism of American leaders has no bounds.

A professor??

Nope, didn’t work.

Im so fucking pissed no one stopped this!!!

Sounds like real, genuine community. Like a block party.

Fascism will be destroyed by tight communities, so this is a win.

YES, I’m so sick of this wording!! It hides how fucking awful the actions being taken are.

I wish they’d quit making up cutesy names for actual horrors. It’s not a “Trumpsession,” it’s a fucking recession.

I understand that including his name ties him to the event, but too many people have a positive connotation with it, so they won’t see the word recession, only his name.
